          Extraterrestrial life.
          
          Aliens.
          
          They are real.
          
          Tremors. Blackouts. Erased data. Niall's mind raced. Everything—every setback, every inexplicable failure—was connected. This wasn't bad luck. It was sabotage. A deliberate attempt to keep them blind, to keep them from seeing the truth.
          
          The invasion had already begun. And no one had noticed.

I present to you, a little sneak peek of chapter 8, The Hunted; The Beginning of the End:
          
          -
          
          shapeless figures, liquid bodies shifting into humanoid silhouettes. Solidifying weapons out of their yellowish-brown bodies.
          
          They shoot.
          
          No warning. No hesitation.

Chapter 7 of The Hunted is out now!
          
          Elara was sitting at her desk. Hard drive heavy in her palm.
          
          Logically, it was just a small object—plastic casing, faint scratches, the worn lemon sticker clinging stubbornly to one side. But emotionally, it felt like it was pressing down on her.
          She exhaled slowly, her eyes flicking between the drive and her computer. She was alone in the lab, early enough that even the air felt undisturbed. No sounds from the ventilating system, no hum from machinery. There was a kind of silence that made you feel like you were waiting for something to happen. She didn’t trust it. The events of the past forty-eight hours were still stuck in her mind: the building collapsing, the tremors, the citywide power outage. And now this.
          It wasn’t a coincidence.
          It couldn’t be.

The scent of coffee filled the kitchen, sharp and grounding. She poured herself a cup, wrapping her hands around the warmth.
          She was halfway through her first sip when she heard footsteps behind her.
          Jonas, hair still tousled from sleep, dropped into the chair at the kitchen table with a quiet groan. He blinked at her, then at the clock on the wall. “You’ve been up all night, haven’t you?”
          Elara gave a tired smile, lifting her cup in response.
          He exhaled, running a hand through his hair before reaching for the newspaper on the table. But he didn’t open it. Instead, he studied her, his eyes searching.
          “What’s on your mind?” he asked.
          Elara hesitated. There was too much. Where would she even start?
          She set her cup down and leaned against the counter. “The building yesterday.”
          Jonas frowned. “The one that collapsed?”
          She nodded. “I have a feeling I’ve seen it before.”
          “I mean, it’s just a couple miles from here. You’ve probably passed it a few times driving through the city.”
          “No, that’s not it.” She drummed her fingers against the ceramic mug, brow furrowing. “It’s more like I’ve been there before.”
          Jonas raised an eyebrow. “You hate apartments.”
          “True.”
          She was about to brush it off when a small chill ran down her spine. Why did it feel so familiar? There was something just out of reach, a memory trying to break through the fog of exhaustion.
          Jonas yawned, stretching his arms over his head. “I was thinking of taking Lorelei to the city after school today. You know, to get her favorite snack.” He hesitated, his expression shifting. “Just in case…”
          Elara met his gaze, understanding the unspoken words. Just in case things got worse. Just in case they lost more than they were prepared to.
